The Anglican Church of St Michael and All Angels in Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, England was built in the 14th century.

He wished to spend the rest of his life as an anchorite, withdrawn from the world, living in a cell adjacent to the church.

Wulfric numbered among his intimate friends Osbern, the village priest; William, a lay brother of Forde Abbey; and Brichtric, who seems to have joined him as a disciple or attendant.

[3] According to Abbot John of Forde Abbey, Wulfric lived alone in these simple quarters for 29 years, devoting much of his time to reading the Bible and praying.

In keeping with the ideals of medieval spirituality, he adopted stern ascetic practices: he deprived himself of sleep, ate a frugal meatless diet, spent hours reciting the psalms sitting in a bath of cold water, and wore a hair shirt and heavy chain-mail tunic.
